Post: Woman who shot 8 kids and murdered 2 men trying to save them. Top commenter: She was a victim of her dad. He was a monster.

Absolutely no sympathy for or even mention of the victims of this psychopath, only discussing her in sympathetic terms. Because if a woman does anything bad, it must be because she was a victim. (Of course, they don’t think to ask about her father’s own upbringing…) But no double standard here! Just like women can’t rape and some only ‘have sex with’ children, just like men get harsher sentences for the same crime.

Top commenter’s top sub is TwoXChromosomes, astonished.

I tried to point out the derailing but told this wasn’t derailing at all. Imagine a post about victims of the Nazis and the top comment derailing it by sympathising with how Hitler was brutally beaten as a kid every day, and that his father was a monster… Or imagine if it had been his mother… I’ve seen radical feminists derail a post about a man being murdered by talking about women, and then attacking people for derailing them by changing the subject back to the original… (!)

I don’t wish hell for people like this, but a purgatory where they have consistent logic and decency slowly explained to their insane and spiteful minds until they finally get it sounds nice. Might take a few millennia though…
